Hence the en leflt Q /11415 Y. few and the passive obedience of 'W hat note was the conduct of the ° f tile nation towards those political and religious fanatics, who had so tormented it during 10 months ? Was there any re-acti , :)n, any assassinations, any massacres ? No—satisfied with being protected from their intrigues, they left those miserable wretches to their own consciences A few months elapse ; the Battle of Waterloo is gained. The moment it is known at. Marseilles the good Royalists rise en masse, to murder their adversaries, who had merely bestowed on them the smile ofcontempt. The Mamelukes were mur dered ; the garrison was attacked—it defended itself; a person was sent to say, that if it would quietly retire with its arms and baggage, it should be suffered to depart : this it agreed to. A second message came, it must depart without ar►sis or baggage ; the soldiers refused ; the officers per suaded them there was no danger, as the Gem d'armerie would protect their retreat. They left the Garrison. The mob fired on them, the Goa- . d'artnerie looking coolly on ; all the Garrison was murdered, officers and men, save three or four, who escaped by leaping over the barrack walls, and getting into the Country. Marshal BRUNS, one of the best, the mildest, and most humane of men, was basely assassinated. The massacres of Nismes succeeded those of Marseilles. The National Guard of both places distinguished itself by furiously heading the murderers. and, amidst the cries of Vice le Roi, burning, pillaging, and massacreing. NVith all the violence of furies they i insulted their victims, and put them to death in lingering torments. In the mouth of one of the persons they had murdered, they stuck a pipe, and found it cause for laughter ; a drummer boasted that he gave the turn of the key with his sabre in the body of an unfortunate Officer who had concealed himself. General LAGARDE is one of upwards of 200 murdered at Nismes (their only crime was being PROTESTANTS) ; his assassin is brought to Trial, the proofs are positive, but he is acquitted. TRESTAILLONS, who boasts of having dispatched, with his Troop, above a hundred Heretics and Buonapartists,—TßESTAlL. LONS is arrested, sent laden with irons to Mont pellier, and thence to Lyons ; is there acquitted, which some will not wonder at when they recol lect that CANUEL was the Military Commandant, Da CH ABROL the Prefect, De FARGURS the Mayor, and Da SUTTEE the Provost. He returns to Nismes ; he if; met by an immense population, who hail his arrival ; public rejoicings are made. Songs are composed, of which two lines only will be a sufficient specimen. Yepargnuns personne THE STAI LIONS l'ordonne. Let us spare no one, TRRSTAILLONS ordains it,' anti, will it be believed, this is a favourite popular song at Nismes at this day. I will only add that the troubles at Grenoble, Lyous, &c. were all fomented and organized by the same class of men, who pretend exclusively to :he principles of loyalty and virtue. Call the great mass of the nation what you please, but the character of assassins and disturbers of the public peace will be found exclusively to apperiain to the PURR ROYALISTS: as they call themselves, or the Ultras, as they are mildly termed by the rest of mankind.' I need add nothing to this frightful picture, ex cept the consolatory assurance that, thanks to the zeal and firm ass of the Minister of Police, these disot tiers are arrested, their authors under Trial, and the public tranquillity is secured. Hence the hatred of the Ultras and their organ, the English Newspaper, against him ; and it is well known that had CLNUEL'S last Conspiracy taken effect, M. de CAzes was for these services to France to bare been its first victim. HER - The following is from the C our t Newsman last night : " About half-past three o'clock, Dr. Motor), her Majesty's Physician Extraordinary, arrived in his carriage from London, and had a constilta thm with Sir F. Milian, &c. ; and, after remain ing in the Palace near an hour, left the Palace, on his return to London. Viscount and Viscoun tess Bulkeley, and Lady Isabella Thynne, were among the visitors at the Palace. The inquiries after the state of the Queen were numerous.— The state of her Majesty has fluctuated within these few days, and we regret to say, she was nut so well up to six o'clock, yesterday evening, as she had been in the morning." The Duke of YonK visited the PittNce Re- GENT yesterday at Catiton-house.

SHIP NEWS. HURRICANE, ox THE 29TH ULT. NEAR BERMUDA. Extract of a Letter from Captain LEVY, of the Agnes, from Jansaira, to his Owner at Liverpool. " Ship Agnes, at sea, Bth Sept. 1818, in lat. 34. 44. long. 55. 30. On 89th August, at 10 o'clock at night, being IS miles to the southward, and about 60 to the eastward of the island of Bermuda, we experienced a most dreadful hurricane. It commenced from E. S. E., veered round from S. S. W. and S. W., and from that to the West, and continued until 2 r. u. on the 3Uth, with the greatest fury. After that time it began to abate. The vessel was down on her side, deck under water, and remained so for a considerable time, until re lieved by the head of the mainmast going and carrying away all the topmasts, and soon after the mainmast went 4 feet from the deck: unfortunately the mast hung by some rope, and we could not get to cut for some time ; it got under the quar►er, started the quarter piece, bloke in the dead lights, and nearly unshipped the rudder. By this accident a qii:ai tity of water got into the cabin and rooms in which our bread and other stores were stowed, and I am sorry to say they are all damaged. When the hurricane abated, I cannot describe my feelings. Not 24 hours previous the ship was in complete order, and in want of nothing; and in su short a time to be deprived of every thing. We secured the fore and mizen masts, but the tops and cross trees were broken ; neither sails, yards, or rigging left that were above deck, with the exception of the fore and cross jack-yards. When it became moderate, I examined the ship well, and found she had not re ceived any injury in the hull, therefore resolved to proceed on our passage. Ido not think this violent storm extended so far to the Northward as must of the ships would be which sailed at the same time, as they went through the Gulf the second day." DEAL, SEPT. 29.—Sailrd this morning thr Florida sloop of war, or. a cruize to thr Northward. Poarsmourn, Aarr.29.—Arrived the Killingbeek, Barnea, from London, for Antigua; and Restitution, —, from ITniahro', for Gibraltar. Remain hit Majesty's ships Tartar, Phaeton, and Iphi;zenia. Sailed the Thomas, —, for the Cape of Good Hope; and Coromandel store•ship, for --. PLYMOUTH, SEPT. 24.—Came in, the Samuel, Soper, from Malaga, leaky, with loss of sails and other damage, and hav ing thrown part of her cargo overboard. Sailed the Thalia, Herbert, for Calcutta. LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 28.—The Dorothy, Howard, from Bom bay, sailed 14th Say; spoke 23d August, in lat. de. N. long. 34. 36. W. the American Hero, from Spithead for Jaya, out 32 days. Same day, saw 5 sail of transports for the Cape of Good Hope, with the 38th Regiment on board ;-24th, spoke the Thomas, Scattergood, from Philadelphia for Canton, out 42 days, in lat. 1.42. N. lung. 25. I.W.—The Berlin, Hewson' arrived here from Jamaica, saw a large plain ship with yellow sides and black painted ports on the Carysford Reef, in the Gulf of Florida, her lower masts and bowsprit standing, about 15th August. RAM OATE N SEPT. 29.—The wind haring got to the E. S. E. most of the trade hound westward sailed this tide. SHEERNESS, SEPT. 49.—Sailed the Sorry, Raine, fur New South Wales, with convicts. NORTH SHIELDS, SEPT. 97.—Yesterday the Hammon, of Hartley, coal laden, in going to sea, struck on the Bar, which caused her to make so much water that she was obliged to put back ; and this day the Malvina, Nicholson, of London, from Riga to Topsham, put into this Harbour in a leaky state, having on her passage sprung a-leak, and with great difficulty kept from bring water logged. BREAKwATER —The equinoctird galeS have Corn menced, and on the 21st and 23(1 instant they proved extraordinarily violent from the south ward and westward, which occasioned an heavy pressure of the sea against the Breakwater,— Notwitstanding the fury of the waves, not a single stone of the finished part of this structure has been injured or disph►ced. The raising of the western arm already begins to have the most beneficial in fluence on the anchorage, particularly trom half ebb to half flood.—(Plymouth Paper.) EMIGHATIONT.—Workmen in the iron and coal works in Monmouthshi4e, and from the neigh bourhood of Merthyr, have recently taken their departure for America, and left their wives nd fatuities behind them. An instance of this sort occurred a few days since, in the parish of Bianeau, on which is thrown, in consequence, the burden of providing for a woman end her five children. The husband wrote a letter to his wife from Liverpool, just as he was about to embark, stating that the impossibility of his main taining her and their family in this country upon the produce of his labour, had compelled him un willingly to desert them. CORN-EXCITANGE, SEPT. 30.—We have had a few fresh arrivals since Monday, but there was very little business doing, a nut the prices this morning both in Wheat and Oats are nominally the same ; Barley is very dull ; in Peas and Beans there is no alteration. Killing a Child by Spirituous Liquors. Ma LUO HOU OH-STREET.—Eleanor Bryan was charged with murder, in causing the death of a girl named Duyan, between five and six years old, by spirituous liquors. It appeared in evidence that the pi isoner lodged in the same house with the mother of the child, and on Monday morning, during the temporary absence of the mother, the prisoner, who is much addicted to drinking, took the child out with her, and perambulated St. Giles's. She acknowledged that she had given her two glasses of gin and a glass of peppermint, be sides which she took part of two pots of porter. On the child hying brought home she felt into a sound sleep, which was succeeded hy fits in the evening and, which caused her death. The confession of the prisoner was corroborated by a land lord in St. Giles's, where the first glass of gin was had. He . proved that he served the gin, and he saw the prisoner give it to the child. He supposed that she only meant the girl to taste it, but she emptied the glass. The evidence of the Surgeon went to prove that the child died by excess of drink, and prisoner was remanded until Friday.--A Coroner's Inquest was to sit on the body of the child this day. A pitched battle was, we understand, intended to have been fought on the morning of Sunday last, in a field near the Crown public-house, I Vaiham-green, in the parish of Fulham.—This brutal exhibition was prevented by the timely and spirited interference of a Magistrate from Hammersmith. Such an insolent profanation, we had thought, could hardly have been contem plated by those brutes in lont»an shape. We learn, however, from the same Correspondent, that prize -fighting often takes place in the fields near Paddington, on Sunday. After this notification of the evil, we trust that the Magistrates in the neighbourhood will no longer sutler it to exist. (Timer.) THE THEATRE. DRURY_LANE —Speed thePlough, one of the best Of modern Comedies, so tar as it gives scope to the talents of individuals, was last night represented at this Theatre. MI7NDEN, the ai iginiii representa tire of Sir Abel Handy, was received with very gratifying zeal by the audience on his entrance, and he requited them by exerting all his comic powers on the occasion. The part of Henry was assigned to Mr. H. Katvint.g, who supported it so well, that estimating his merit in Rameo, he may be sail to display considerable versatility of talents. WPSTON was by no means perfect in Farmer Ash field, and there was a giggling gaiety through his whole perfo s rmance, which rendered it inferior to most of his predecessors. IieNGouGH Beset ved and received applause for his feeling and gentle manly support of Sir Philip Blandfold SeAuKs, always nAnral and respectable, was, fully so in Dame Ashfield. Mrs. 11AaLowe gave an animated portrait in Lady Handy to what !night be supposed to be a termagant, if such a character w e r e nut the mere invention of sarcastic Poets, and really not to be found in domestic life. The rest of the characters were not supported in such a manner as to lessen the general impression of the play. ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR. Yesterday being Michaelmas D ty, agreeably to ancient custom, a Common Hall was held at Guildhall, for the choice of a Chief Magistrate for the year ensuing, when, as usual, the nAnies of the different Aldermen who flail served the office of Sheriff were put up for the skew of hands, and which scented to be in favour of Aldermen AT KINS and GOODBEHEHR, the next in rotation, who were returned to the Court of Aldermen for their choice, when they returned Alderman ATKINS Lord Mayor for the year ensuing. Mr. SAMUEL. DIXON then proposed a vote of Thanks to Sir Francis Desroges and Sir George Alderson, late Sheriffs, for the able and honour able manner in which they had discharged the duties of their office, for their independent con duct during the late General Election, and for the humanity they displayed to the prisoners confided to their care. This was seconded by Mr. Thist le ton, and agreed to ; and Sir George Alderson, on the part of his colleague and himself, in a very neat and appropriate manner, retutned his ac knowledgments tor the same. Shortly after the Hall was dissolved. After the Common HRH, the Loan MAYOR hell a Court of Aldermen, at which Mr. Norton, who was on Monday last elected Common Pleader, in the room of the late IV. Watson, Esq. attended, and was sworn into office. Sundry licences were granted to coal under. akers. Mr. Francis Flower was elected a Ruler of the. IVatermen's Company, in the room of the late Mr. Hamer. Several persons were admitted brokers.—A small quantity of gold was sworn off for exporta tion,and sundry salaries and bills ordered for pay.. ment. The Thanks of the Court were then voted to the Rev. J. J. Corry, for his Set moil preached previous to the election of the Loid Mayor. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

EXTENSIVE RollaKaY.—A Gentleman of pro. perty, named Keine, while look:ng at a print-shop in Oxford -street, had his coat-pocket completely cut out wirli his pocket-book, containing Bank notes and Bills of Exchange to the amount of 380/. There was a gnantity of 101. notes of the Bank of England, and country notes to the amount of lOU/. of the Dorchester Bank. A MD was taken into custody by Mr. Itaine, upon the spot, but he proved to be a very respectable person. ROBBERY of APARTMENTS —A lady in appear-, ance called at the house ot Mr. Campbell, Short street, Moorfields, on Monday afternoon, under pretence ot looking at the apartments, which were to be let, but during the absence ot Mrs Camp bell, she contrived to secrete several articles of value, with which she got off undetected. This is only one of several attempts mottle by her that day. She appears passably genteel, of a motherly look, and is about 30 years of age. She pretends to have a mother, for whom she wishes to take lodgings, &c. Iu her hand was a couple of black ostrich feathers, and a market two-handle basket, into which she must have thrust the articles stolen, vie. a silk shawl, two tea-spoons, three gold seals which were attached to a watch, lad jog on the mantle-piece (not stolen), two others ly ing loose, and a gold watch-key, together with a small table cloth. FIRE —Yesterday evening, between four and five o'clock, the premises of Messrs. J sines, Wood, and James, oil merchants, College-hill, took fire, which was so rapid in its progress, that, not will standing a full bupply of Water to the numerous engines, they were utterly destroyed in ball an hour. All the books and papers were fortunately preserved. The stock, which consisted princi pally of oil, was entirely consumed ; but we are happy to learn that the giCALCI part was insured.
